UK MPs take to Facebook, Google and Twitter for user safety

The UK government is soon to pass a law banning social media

LONDON: UK lawmakers will soon be cracking down on social media giants such as Facebook, Twitter and Google over user safety issues. In Europe, on the other hand, efforts to control social media have gained momentum.

The British government is bringing in a law on online safety and a draft of it has also been prepared. A committee of MPs has also been constituted for the purpose of in-depth scrutiny and review of the draft. The MPs on the committee will ask representatives from Facebook, Google, Twitter and Tiktok a number of questions regarding user safety.

All the countries in Europe are also active on social media and are very concerned about the safety and security of teenagers and the privacy of other users, so they have stepped up their efforts to control social media. The most outward direction.

The committee of UK MPs is currently seeking the views and suggestions of researchers, journalists, technology executives and other experts in various fields on how to make the draft law for online safety more effective.

Following the views and suggestions of all these people, the committee will prepare a report and submit it to the government. During the week that the US Senate committee is to question representatives of YouTube, Tiktok and Snapchat, UK MPs will also question representatives of social media companies.
